United States Attorney Brendan V.
Johnson announced that a Rosebud, South Dakota man has been indicted by a
federal grand jury for third-degree burglary, theft from Indian Tribal
Organization, and larceny.
Timothy Picotte, age 30, was indicted by
a federal grand jury on September 19, 2012. He appeared before United States
Magistrate Judge Mark A. Moreno on September 24, 2012, and pled not guilty to
the indictment. The maximum penalty upon conviction is up to 10 years in
custody, a $250,000 fine, or both.
The charges are merely accusations, and
Picotte is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
The investigation is being conducted by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement
Services. Assistant United States Attorney Tim Maher is prosecuting the case.
Picotte was remanded to the custody of
the United States Marshals Service pending trial. A trial date has not been
set.
